Moon River Prefecture City was now close at hand. Ever since Xu Qing had entered its territory, starting from about three miles out, he had rarely seen the bleached bones of commoners by the roadside.
Of course, this didn't mean the people of Moon River Prefecture City lived well. Nor did it mean the villagers in the surrounding areas were living in peace and contentment, with no worries about food or clothing.
In fact, the villages surrounding Moon River Prefecture City were no different. They were just as impoverished and destitute, unable to eat their fill or stay warm, and had to constantly worry about being murdered by Demons, Fiends, and Evil Spirits.
One could only say that in these chaotic times, the lives of the common people were just too bitter. Especially in a world like this, their suffering was beyond words, with not even a sliver of hope for turning their lives around.
「By afternoon.」
The blazing sun still hung high in the sky.
